Thermoplastic adhesives are fusible, soluble and poor heat and creep resistant.
They are normally used for low/medium load assemblies under reasonable service conditions
In general, thermoplastic adhesives have low/medium shear strength and suffer from
creep at high loading. They have good resistance to oils but poor
resistance to water. Thermoplastic adhesives include polyvinyl acetate (PVA),
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylates, polyester acrylics, acrylic solvent cement,
cyanoacrylates (superglue), silicone resins, polyamides and acrylic acid diesters.

Over the last 35 years, properties of thermoplastic adhesives have been enhanced by
toughening such that variants are available suitable for structural duties. There is
widespread use of thermoplastic adhesives (anaerobic) adhesives for radial fit
assemblies, and screw locking assemblies.

Sealant, locking compounds set in the presence of metals and the absence of atmospheric oxygen.
In use this hardens when used in a completed assembly. Typical Trade Name "Loctite"
Used to lock , seal, retain all types of turned threaded, fitted parts.
